Digital Connections
Read instructions carefully when connecting compo- nents to the receiver.
Digital in Jacks can accept Dolby Digital (AC-3), DTS
or PCM signals when compatible components are
connected.
Component Connections
ComponentVideo In & Out
The Component Video input is linked to DVD and SAT
modes. Selecting DVD or SAT mode will route a component video signal connected to the Component Video IN sockets to the Component Video Out sock- ets. Using dedicated high-quality video cable (not
provided), connect the input from a device equipped with Component Video output such as a DVD player. Connect the Component Video output to a display device (TV, monitor) to the Monitor outputs.
Connecting the Speakers
To connect the speakers, rotate the speaker jack counter-clockwise. Insert the speaker wire into the terminal. Secure the wire in place by turning the speaker jack clockwise.
Speaker Polarity
When connecting the speakers, make sure the polari- ties ("+" speaker wire to "+" on the receiver) of speaker wires and terminals are matched. If the wires are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack
bass ("out of phase" effect).
Connecting the Subwoofer
Adding a Subwoofer will increase bass response.
Connect the subwoofer wire to the SUB OUT jack on
the back of the unit.
This receiver offers a high flexibility for user to use a
large variety of speakers and subwoofers. For more information please refer to section "Fine Setting of
the Speakers" in "Advanced Sound Control" on page
24.
Positioning your speaker
(_ Left, Right (Front Speakers)
They carry primarily music and sound effects
(_ Center
In surround mode, the center speaker carries much of the dialogue as well as music and effects, it should be set between the left and right speakers.
(_ Surround (Rear Speakers)
Their overall sound balance should be as close as pos- sible to the front speakers. Proper placement is vital to establish an evenly distributed sound field.
Subwoofer
A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful low bass effects (explosions, the rumble of spaceships, etc.) which dramatically heightens involvement with the action on the screen. It is therefore recommend-
ed to connect subwoofers when small speakers are used.
Magnetic shielding
Speakers placed lessthan two feet from the TV set must be magnetically shielded in order to prevent picture distortion.
It is not recommended to place the rear speakers near the TV set.

Front Speaker Placement
Even if you can't duplicate this ideal home theater setup exactly, the suggestions for speaker placement
that follow will help you get good results.
Advanced Setting Alternative Surround Placement
Rear wall if rear wall mounting isthe only choice, aim the
speakers at each other (A), towards the front (B) or even towards the sidewalls (C, D). Experiment with placement until surround sounds seem to envelop you, rather than coming from behind you.
Courtesy Do,by Laboratories
No adjacent walls
Surrounds can go on stands facing each other to approximate the preferred sidewall mounting (A), or to the sides or rear of the viewing area aimed upwards. In the latter case, they can go right on the floor, or preferably, a few feet off the floor such as on end tables (B).

Test Tone / Channel balance
Channel balance
Your receiver is equipped with a test signal generator for balancing the channels. As the signal "travels" from channel to channel, adjust the level controls
until each channel plays at the same loudness level.
Courtesy Dolby Laboratories
Level adjustment & surround channel level
expectation
Even though you adjust the surround channel to be as loud as the others on the test signal, you'll find
that on actual program material the surround chan- nel is usually much lower than the front. Don't be tempted to readjust the surround level; program pro- ducers use surround mostly for subtle atmospheric and ambience, and only rarely for special effects. A good surround mix doesn't call attention to itself; if it did, it would soon become distracting.
